![]() ![]() I went to a ton of Charlie's on Acid concerts, rode in the van, wore out their cassettes, and told all my friends about them. I wondered what that felt like for him, sitting there, seeing himself on that big screen if even for a flash. I was, and remain to this day, a fan of my friend. ![]() I wanted to stand up in the middle of the scene where they were featured (I very nearly did) and shout to the marginally packed audience, "Hey! That's these guys right here!" My brother and I went to see the film with the guys right after it opened, and it was surreal to sit that close to honest-to-goodness celebrities. When they show band posters in the film featuring Brandon as the lead singer, those are my friends Sean, Rusty, Eric, and Toby in the background trying to look suitably boss. Charlie's on Acid, you see, was the band chosen to play Brandon Lee's backup in The Crow. But what made Rusty a legend in my eyes (aside from the groupies) was his minor role in a feature film. Rusty was a lovely chap with the long hair and authentic facial hair you'd expect of a rock and roll artist, and he was quite beloved for being considerably less messy than my brother and I. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, he shared what he learned in bestselling books, in classes, and with a growing group of friends around the world.

The Suspect was his first novel about psychologist Joe O’Loughlin and launched the start of what turned out to be a very good and very popular series of books.īack in 2004 I had the pleasure of reviewing The Suspect for the Canberra Times, without realising how successful Michael would become. Starring Aiden Turner it is sure to be another hit for Michael, who has also enjoyed screen success with the English adaption of his novel, The Secrets She Keeps, and two German television shows based on his Joe O’Loughlin books. The television adaptation of Michael Robotham’s first novel The Suspect is finally about to hit the screens in the United Kingdom early next week. The Suspect by Michael Robotham (original 2004 Time Warner cover) ![]() ![]() Some might see these covers and assume that the contents are geared toward younger audiences. ![]() Not everyone is into illustrations though. I adore his covers, especially those for the Something Like… series, which look like this:ĭrop me off at a gallery or museum in the morning and you won’t have to pick me up again until closing time. ![]() I often feel torn about this, since I worry about the poor guy getting enough rest. My husband has a demanding career of his own, so each cover he creates represents him spending precious downtime to do even more work. There are a variety of marketing reasons for this, but much like the books I write, I’m more interested in exploring the emotional side. Book covers rarely remain the same for long. As romantic and sigh-inducing as that might sound, it can also be awkward. Considering that we’re unlikely to conceive a biological child (we keep trying anyway!), this gives us a chance to create something together. ![]() Having my husband provide the art for my books is sweet deal financially, but what I like most is getting to collaborate with him. I’m also married to him and have been long before I called myself an author. I have a confession: I’m sleeping with my cover artist!

And it’s through their infinite arrangements, 'the endless changes and complexities of their interrelationships,' that Ms. In even these miscellanies, composed in her off hours, the sentences are perfectly balanced and the language chosen with care. Despite her reservations with the hideous word 'blog'-which sounds like it should refer to 'an obstruction in the nasal passage'-she takes to the digressive form with ease, ruminating on the value of literary awards, the Great American Novel (her pick may surprise you), the 'existential situation' of old age and her outsize love for a newly adopted black-and-white cat called Pard. ![]() This delightful book, inquisitive and stroppily opinionated in equal measure, assembles stray pieces from her recent adventures in blogging.

We eagerly await the next episode, in which Ayla invents the wheel. The Shelters of Stone is a sweeping story of love and danger, with all the wonderful detailbased on meticulous research that makes her novels unique. As well as showing the Zelandonii how forming a bond with animals will make their lives better, she introduces them to her "thread-puller" (ie, needle) and instructs them how to make a spear thrower, a nifty device which means they don't have to get close to dangerous animals when hunting. All the way through the series, she has felt like an outsider, which must appeal to the more geeky of Auel's readers.īut Ayla isn't just a pretty face. ![]() The irony is that Ayla doesn't feel at all attractive, because she doesn't resemble the people she grew up with. The Shelters of Stone (Earths Children 5) Hardcover 30 April 2002. Ayla - the tall, slim yet voluptuous blonde - is an ideal of beauty to which we are all supposed to aspire: think supermodel crossed with Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC. ![]() ![]() But what probably best explains Auel's immense popularity is the fact that she, a plump little woman who resembles the Venus of Willendorf in her publicity pictures, has created a heroine whom women can fantasise about being while at the same time identifying with her. ![]() ![]() Her writing is published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Vogue, The Paris Review, The New York Review of Books, The Guardian, Granta and elsewhere.
